I'm hoping to find photos of my GGgrandparents Lazarus Samuel Fellman + Geis-Ada (Edith) Landsman

or their children ...+ share research into Russian origins

Edith Bloch b 1898 was the eldest daughter of Benjamin + Rebecca Bloch nee Fellman named after her grandmother

Edith ( Geiss-Ada ) Bloch married Montague Harris in 1921 but he died later the same year

info from internet search

Edith remarried Gompertz +had twins in the early 1930's

They visited aunt May Ginsberg (Rebecca's sister ) in 1944 ...boat records .

think the twins are called Clare + Antony

do you know them or their children
or any of their maternal cousins ?

Thanks ; some research into other cousins is on this link

Look on FreeBMD for any births, deaths or marriages:

The twins are listed in 1929.

Many Thanks for all this info jacqueline

I will assimilate it + follow leads when I've had some rest

I only gave the link to alisoun's thread because I assumed anyone who was interested in the ANCESTRY Or GEANOLOGY of this family would read that
+ find the other links on there

As THIS thread is on FIND LIVING relatives It only concerns the Bloch + Gompertz

I intend to put threads for each descendent family on here

But maybe will leave out refs to the Fellmans
+ only give reasons for my reaserch as beeing looking for ggparents photos ..can explain which ones when /if i find anyone .

Obviously I don't want research to be repeated + apologies to anyone who does that . I could edit orig post if you remove all those x refs ....
